Deontay Wilder visited Robert Helenius in his hotel room to apologise for the brutal KO finish of his opponent last night.
The 'Bronze Bomber' made his return to the ring for the first time since losing in a trilogy fight with Tyson Fury last year having elected to take on the challenge of Robert Helenius in New York. Wilder is notorious for his devastating power and it was once again the talk of the event last night as he detonated a huge right hand to send his opponent out cold on to the canvas in the opening round.
There were many concerns for Helenius who was immediately taken to hospital having been attended to by medical staff in the ring shortly after the referee halted the action. And in a touch of real class, the American heavyweight went straight to the hotel room of his opponent to check on him after the vicious stoppage.
